There are many 1er Crus in Burgundy, but nowhere more than in Pommard where there are 125 hectares of 1er Crus, spread over 28 different climates.
Les Arvelets covers 8.45 hectares, but our plot is located in the Clos des Arvelets, of which our family owned the entirety, i.e. 3.30 hectares.
After having belonged until 1763 to M Micault d'Harvelay (who took his name from the Clos des Arvelets) Châtelain of Pommard, Esquire, Secretary to the King, Farmer General, Director of Powders and Saltpeter of the Kingdom, it became the property of the Marey-Monge family, until 1926, date of the acquisition of this plot.
Divided since by family divisions, this enclosure, surrounded by walls (up to 4 meters high!) is in a situation of terraces facing due south.
Very steep, with a 20% slope and sometimes a sloping slope, this vine is cultivated by hand and produces a wine with a ruby color, a concentrated and pleasant nose, and supple and melted tannins.
